Isaiah 54:14 NKJV

In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Isaiah 54:14 NKJV

We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, but one thing we have in common is that we were all sinners without Christ.

However, through Christ, our identity has changed - we are no longer sinners, but SAINTS.

Before, we faced challenges as defeated and broken individuals, but now we face them as victors, with boldness, authority, and power over our oppressors.

In righteousness, we shall be established, which means being in right standing with God and aligned with Christ's finished work.

We need to train our minds, hearts and change our identity from who we were to who we have become in Christ. What we have received will not take effect until we start using, speaking and living according to what we have received in Christ.

When we know who we are, what we have, and the authority placed on us, we can be bold and confident. We will be far from oppression, and instead, oppressors will be affected.

Fear has no entrance into our hearts, and terrors that fall on the wicked will not come near us.

The danger lies in moving away from what Christ has established and trying to mix faith with our works.

Jesus Christ has shielded us with His love and power, giving us the same power that was in Him. Trusting in Christ, His righteousness, His Spirit, His kingdom, and His power within us is key.

Let's trust in Christ and His finished work.

Blessings
